What if I lose my phone?
The application has an option to export the database to Dropbox, from which you can copy the database to any destination. It is recommended to perform such a backup for recovering passwords in case of theft or loss of the phone. In addition, you can download an application from this website, thanks to which you can browse the database on a computer running Windows or Linux. The database still remains encrypted and only the knowledge of the application password allows you to explore its contents.
Why do I should well remember the master password of the application?
The master password provides the main protection of other passwords stored in the application and is used to encrypt the database. In the application the password is encrypted by a cryptographic hash function. In case of the lack of the possibility of entering the correct password, there is no other way to retrieve it and reveal saved passwords. Only the correct password gives access to the stored data.
Why should there be upper/lower case letters, numbers, and special characters such as #% $!> in the password?
Passwords which are not only numbers, but also upper/lower case letters and special characters are much harder to crack, due to much bigger number of possible combinations to form.
Why should the password to the application be long?
The password to the application should be long for the maximum protection of stored passwords, which often serve to confirm financial transactions and the knowledge of which by unauthorized persons could cause great financial damage. The password to the application is the only password that you have to remember, the other passwords are safely stored in the application. We recommend that the password is at least 10 characters long and contains upper / lower case letters, numbers and special characters.
Why is the database encrypted with AES-256?
It is recognized as the world's algorithm used to encrypt the data, the fracture is practically impossible (requires several thousand years of well-organized attempts).
AES - Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm. 256 bits - 14 rounds of encryption.
Will the new versions continue to use the current database?
New versions and facilities rarely introduced as an update will allow the use of the existing database. If the development of the application or the knowledge of security creates a base of another structure or uses a different (newer and better) encryption algorithm, an appropriate option will be available to convert the old base.
What application changes are to be expected in the near future?
The general intention of the author is not to make any significant changes in the appearance and functionality of the application. The application is designed to remain simple and serves only the purpose for which it has been created. Possible changes will focus on improving the safety of use of the application in conjunction with the new knowledge available in this area.
